Hazardous Waste

Baltimore, Maryland

Client: Confidential Developer

As part of the development in the Fells Point District, chromium contaminated soil was uncovered. The developer was looking for a cost-effective solution. MAX worked with the environmental contractor to make sure the waste was removed completely to allow the construction to continue. During the several months of work over 5000 tons of hazardous chromium soil was treated and disposed at MAX's Yukon Facility.

Weehawken, New Jersey

Client: Park Parcel Project

MAX was contracted to manage more than 10,000 tons of soil contaminated with Chromium Ore Processing Residue at a site along the Hudson River.

This parcel of land is being developed as a park to enhance other properties recently developed in Weehawken.  MAX joined with another RCRA-permitted Transportation Storage and Disposal Facility to meet the contractor’s project schedule.  More than 25 trucks per day were loaded at the site.

Baltimore, Maryland

Client: Maryland Port Administration

MAX has accepted and treated over 100,000 tons of Chromium Ore Processing Residue (COPR) contaminated soil from the Maryland Port Administration's Dundalk Terminal in Baltimore. Since 1995, MAX has treated over 125,000 tons of soil during their on-going removal process. Project sizes have ranged from several hundred tons to over 15,000 tons. Our treatment scheme allows us to treat as many as 27 truckloads per day.

Washington, DC Area

Client: U.S. Government

As a sub-contractor at a U.S. military complex, MAX excavated and disposed of lead- contaminated soil from an “impact berm” adjacent to firing ranges. To ensure no disruption of military training activities at the site, MAX performed the excavation work at night

The work occurred over several weeks, with MAX removing more than 4,000 tons of lead-contaminated soil.  MAX then reconstructed the berms for future use.

Hamburg, Pennsylvania

Client: USEPA III, Woodland Road Project

As part of this on-going USEPA investigation and clean up of lead contaminated soil in this small eastern PA town, MAX treated over 2500 tons of soil from this site. Over the past 5 years, USEPA has shipped to MAX over 50,000 tons of lead contaminated soil from this project.

Coeburn, Virginia

Client: USEPA Region III - Coeburn Produce Disposal Site

MAX provided the transportation and disposal services for this site in southwestern Virginia. USEPA Region III's site contractor asked MAX to provide these services when the originally selected facility was unable to meet the delivery schedule. Over 2500 tons of lead contaminated soil was removed from the site.

Reading, Pennsylvania

Client: Exide Slag Crushing

During the smelting process, Exide generates a lead slag.  This RCRA-permitted wasted is crushed prior to treatment.  During Exide’s construction of a new crushing building, the company contracted with MAX to crush the slag it generated. 

Over a four-month period, MAX crushed more than 10,000 tons of slag at Exide’s site.  The slag was then shipped to MAX’s Yukon Facility for treatment and disposal, where  MAX used its 40-hour OSHA trained personnel to manage the handling of this hazardous waste. 

Due to the nature of the work, MAX conducted lead monitoring of employees throughout the project.

Newark, New Jersey

Client: Port Authority of New York/New Jersey

During an expansion at the Newark International Airport, lead contamination was discovered. MAX received and treated over 10,000 tons of soil from this site. The work was completed in less than 2 months.

Terryville, CT

Client: OZ Gedney

As part of the closure of this former manufacturing facility, cadmium contaminated soil and sludge was removed. The cadmium sludge was generated during a waste treatment process and was stored at the site. 10,000 tons of material was shipped from the site in two phases.

North Brunswick, New Jersey

Client:  North Brunswick School District

While conducting a site evaluation in planning an expansion of its campus, the North Brunswick School District discovered an old pit contaminated with arsenic. MAX provided Front End Management Program (FEMP) services, coordinating the excavation sequence and truck loading to maximize the number of loads MAX could accept per day.  During this project, more than 7,000 tons of soil were treated at MAX’s Yukon Facility.
